YOUNG STAINS REVELATIONS
TurnIn. Out 90 be False In Many I'm


stances.
BOSTON, Oct. I'm his statement to
Sheriff Mitchell by young Stain in which he
accused his father Daniel l.. Stain and Oliver
Goldsmith with bring the murde1ers of Cash
Ter Barron of Dexter, Me-, he also charged
his father with killing George Steel and
David Hamant, two of his neighbors in Med
field, by poison. Investigation show these
latter charges to be false. Mr.. Hanant died in
May, 1874, of cancerous tumor and his son
states that he died under the surgeons knife,
George Steel, the other alleged victim, died
at the City hospital in Boston March 10, 1871,
of cancer of the face, poison having nothing
to do with his case. The town records show
that Catherine G. Stain, one of the elder
Stains wives, died of heart disease January
16, 1876. Young Stain claims that his father
slowly killed her by poison. DR.. Richard
son, who attended her, states that
there were no symptoms of poisoning.
1t is difficult task to pick out the truth
from the falsehood in the stories which
yonng Stain tells about his fathers gang.
There is some corroborativa evidence regard
ing the mysterious Messenger murder
Reuben Goldsmith, who is named by Stain
as a member of the party he charges with
killing Mr.. Messenger, is well known in
Foxboro and vicinity. The authorities of
Foxboro give him a very bad name. The
first tragedy in which he was involved was
the killing of dry goods peddlsr named
Ames about twenty years ago. Goldsmith
kept a place in the woods which
was much resorted to for gambling
and other purposes. In a row which
he had with Ames one day the latter was
killed. No weapons were used, however, and
as it was a general fight, Goldsmith escaped
all penalties. At the time of the Messenger
muader he lived mile and half from the
scene of the tragedy. Although generally
sufficient evidence to warrant his
arrest was never obtained
